Discounted Tickets

ColoradoAvalanche

New Colorado Avalanche season ticket promotion:

If you buy full season tickets anywhere in the arena you can buy the same number of full season tickets in the lower level (sections 112, 114, 110, 116) for only $1,010 each (usually $3,740 each).  For example, if you buy two season tickets in the upper mid end (which is the least expensive area at $1,012 each) you can buy two season tickets in the lower level for $1,010 each, thus taking advantage of this special deal.

 

With this ticket special you could get four full season tickets (two upper level and two lower level) for only $4,044 total.  The regular total cost of getting two upper and two lower season tickets would be $9,504 (savings of over 50%).

 

*In addition, for $2,022 we can match you up with a partner and you will each have two tickets for 22 games in the lower level and two tickets for 22 games in the upper level.  You still have all the benefits of a full season ticket holder!
